A step up from the X1 and a step down from the M9. By 2012, they should be able to stick in a 1.3 crop sensor too. Sell it for $2000 body only and that will be a perfect main or backup camera for a lot of the M and R users. And presumably everyone must have heard about the Pentax Q by now - smallest interchangeable lens camera system. Sure, the sensor is tiny, but the tiny 5MP iPhone4 camera has been doing great thing. This may be another killer product. Wait and see, wait and see. Finally some exciting new systems other than the generic black bricks. -- // richard <http://www.imagecraft.com/> // icc blog: <http://imagecraft.com/blog/> // richard's personal photo blog: <http://www.5pmlight.com> [ For technical support on ImageCraft products, please include all previous replies in your msgs. ]
